Help! I'm trapped in my gym teachers body

I like how Mr. Braun stuck up for Jake when he tricked Barry Dunn and his friends. Jake's friend's Josh and Andy got in there and were as loyal as friends get to the very end. I think this book is excellent! At first I thought it was a true story! You did a great job Todd Strasser! ...

I LOVE IT!!---DEFINITELY AN ORIGINAL PLOT!!!

I love reading children's books. I love the most to read books with original plots that are unthinkable, yet innocent. This book qualifies. The story line is so outrageoous, there is no way you will be able to guess what will happen next. And Todd Strasser is VERY FUNNY. You won't regret reading this book!!--George Stancliffe

Help! I'm Trapped in my Gym Teacher's Body

Very Good! Very funny! I think the way Todd Strasser made it so reasonable for kids is great. He made it so funny and easy to understand, that it is reasonable for anyone. I think this book is one of the best books I have ever read in my life. This book is about a 12 year old boy, Jake, who has 2 best friends, Josh and Andy, who like to fool around and get in trouble. But when Jake switches bodies with his new big muscular gym teacher, it can get worse and it can get funny. The best part was when the gym teacher's girlfriend went out with Jake instead of Bruno(the gym teacher)! I really enjoyed this book and so will you.

terrifically funny

We'd all like to switch with someone for a short while. I like this book because we learn that we'd rather be in our own body.

extremely engrossing! good idea, great execution.

most boys would love to switch places with their gym teachers. how long until this technology becomes real?
